I got a road trip coming up 8 hour drive, is it bad to leave my 22's on for this i got DWS tires on them...im never took it anywhere over 45min so just curious what others experience are with road trips and 22's

i personally would not take my car on a road trip for 8 hours with 22s and fear or rock chips etc but i think you should be fine. before leaving check the tire pressure and ofcourse watch out for potholes!

Yeah 8 hours unfamiliar roads to a Rally stage race that my buddy is driving in PA STPR - i think the roads are back country roads 20% of the time, so been thinking about putting my stock wheels on hrmmmmm

If you have the factory wheels I highly suggest you put those on and make sure they are balanced and ready to go. Why would you risk damaging your wheels on an 8hour journey! Plus trying to find a 22 tire in a hurry might be hard esp if you damage one of the rears!

I took my 2011 750li from Houston to San Fransico on 22" from Vellano. Everything was good until we LA and my wife drove. Two bent wheels and we was down for three days. I got Vellano to make me two new Barrels. I was lucky that Vellano is about 45 min out of LA. So keep the 22" on the car and have fun. Just watch for holes!!!

No problem at all. Just don't make it a habit. I know from experience driving back and forth from GA to TX. Bent rims, cut tires, extreme tire wear over time, etc, etc... the list goes on. Just be careful out there bro.
